Kan. Professor Attacked Along Rural Road
Monday, December 5, 2005 Printable Version Email This Article (12-05) 20:25 PST Lawrence, Kan. (AP) -- A college professor whose planned course on creationism and intelligent design was canceled after he derided Christian conservatives said he was beaten by two men along a rural road early Monday. University of Kansas religious studies professor Paul Mirecki said the men referred to the class when they beat him on the head, shoulders and back with their fists, and possibly a metal object, the Lawrence Journal-World reported. "I didn't know them," Mirecki said of his assailants, "but I'm sure they knew me." Messages left by the Associated Press on Mirecki's cell phone were not immediately returned. Sheriff's Lt. Kari Wempe said Mirecki reported the attack just before 7 a.m. The professor said he confronted the men after they were tailgating his vehicle along a road south of Lawrence. "I'm mostly shaken up, and I got some bruises and sore spots," he said. Mirecki planned to offer a spring course called "Special Topics in Religion: Intelligent Design, Creationism and other Religious Mythologies" after the Kansas Board of Education decided to include more criticism of evolution in science standards for elementary and secondary students. Last week, Mirecki asked the university to cancel the class after he created a furor by sending an e-mail to a student organization mocking Christian fundamentalists. Mirecki had referred to religious conservatives as "fundies," and said a course describing intelligent design as mythology would be a "nice slap in their big fat face." He has apologized for those comments |

An assumption is made by Kevin that they are actually of Christian belief and acting upon his comments in class. Nowhere in the story is that case definitely made. For all we know they were some left wing wackos or thugs paying back the professor for stiffing a prostitute. Him stating his attackers referred to his course means nothing. From the report: "I didn't know them," Mirecki said of his assailants, ..." The fact that Kevin once again violated copyright laws by not providing a link to the actual report also lessens the credibility of his post. |

In article , "Lord
Reginald Smithers" Ask me about my driveway leading up to my manor. says... jps, I try not to use profanity often because it diminishes it's effectiveness when I do use. Profanity is supposed to shock and emphasize a point. When it is used often, it does neither. I might go months without using profanity, so when I use it, those who know me listen carefully. I can't figure out what Doug achieved by using "Don't pull that **** with me" statement. I my opinion he just wasted a perfectly good "****" when he could have held it back when he really wanted to use a perfectly good "****". I thought it was applied with aplomb. About the softest **** I've seen this year. jps |

JohnH,
It is a classic case of "The Lemmings are Coming ... The Lemmings are Coming". Either everyone who considers themselves a conservative, must agree that intelligent design is a viable theory, and thus all conservatives are just blind lemmings running for the cliff OR all those who believe this silliness and repeat the story that all conservatives are lemmings must themselves be lemmings running for the cliff. Since I also believe Intelligent Design is a nothing more than a fancy way of teaching creationalism, those who like to scream "lemmings" should keep their eyes open, it will be a great view as they plunge over the cliff.
